Male or female A. seemani?

This is an A. seemani I got from a pet rescue. The DLS is estimated 4-5 inches. I'm not sure if it's technically "mature" or a sub-adult. I tried my best to get a photo of that area but it was difficult. Possible male or female?
@Stella Maris Yes when looking for spermathecae/utera(flap) it is found inside of the exo after a moult.

I am leaning towards female as there seems to be lips shape at the furrow. I also look at the shape of the top set of booklungs. I find males tend to be more obviously triangular and are usually closer together. I have also examined some seemanni of my own and males tend to have a light spot above the furrow inbetween the top booklungs.

However, examining at a specimen ventrally is never 100%. Although it helps to get sn idea
